Minecraft needs no introduction, nor do Minecraft Servers! But how about Minecraft Server Wrappers (MSW)? You may be a casual player or a hardcore Minecraft addict, but if you ever played on a community server, chances are, you have indirectly interacted with an MSW.

MSW is a tool that wraps a Minecraft Server and interacts with it by pushing in commands and reading the server logs.

Most Minecraft community servers or hosting services use some sort of MSW. They are very handy for developers to build solutions around their Minecraft Servers, for example:
Running a chatbot, such as discord, slack, or gitter, to send commands and receive server updates via messages.
